Red Book has some good generic values. Check HA or GC for the current trends of a coins value/premium.
Suggestion buy and read ** a Red Book or price information is available on the net. Just like your numerous
questions on dd etc ** you have to learn on your own or else pay the **coin tution forever.
Its cent not penny

But --- Charmay's cat is "Penny" not "cent."
RogerB it doesn't matter, believe me you're gonna pay "tuition" no matter what in this "hobby"
A cent for your thoughts?

Maybe she's British.
Or the cat is British.....But then it should be named "Farthing" or "Groat" or "Shilling?"
Coin collecting is soooo confusing.
After being a collector for a few years,and soaking up some knowledge from all of you wise hobbyists, my observations on the "penny/cent" conundrum are:
1)Collectors "in the know" say cent amongst other collectors
2)It is good form to politely encourage newer collectors to use cent instead of penny
3)Yes, there is plenty of ammunition if you want to argue for the use of penny, but remember point #1
4)@ThePennyLady 's use of "Penny" is perfectly acceptable because she is the Queen of the Cents and in no way disproves or invalidates point #1
The use of "penny" to mean a United States one-cent coin goes back a long way in publications and Mint documents. Look at some of the modern US Mint promotional materials.
That is point #3, I am just saying what I have observed.
"Penny" is slang. The correct term is "cent". No amount of misuse changes that. Now, how far someone is willing to go to try to enforce the grammar law is another story. It is a thankless job and a losing battle.
I think the correct term is “obsolete coin”
I'll tell you this much none of it makes cents
What make cents to me here in Canada, a penny is a coin worth one cent When the two-cent coin was discontinued, penny took over as the new one-cent coin's name. Penny was likely readily adopted because the previous coinage in Canadian French, the penny is often known by the loanword cent; keeps the English pronunciation [sɛnt]. Slang terms include cenne, cenne noire, or sou noir (black penny), although common Quebec French usage is sou.
Never though penny would have such an effect but it all good. I'll will not let that slide again. Who knows, till next time A+ to all
OK now I learned something from an Acadien thread!
Keep it up!

Since the US Government vis a vis the US Mint which makes the little dudes refers to them as a Penny and a Cent, and since the US Government controls the Money supply, I can call it either.
The official name is only what the officials call it, and they call it both, so, in my small mind, the debate ended.
I can see on the thread summary page that @mustangmanbob made the last post on this thread but I am not able to see the post. Does anyone else have the same issue?
I know this occured with other users a few weeks back.
Does this earn me one of those new bug badges @HeatherBoyd ?
If an orange is orange and an apple is not red, what color is it?
well you ca see it differed way's Not all colors had names historically. They had to be invented. It also turns out that across cultures, after black and white, red is the first color to be named. So apples are red because people knew what red was (likely) long before apples became widespread.
Orange, i9s one of the last colors to be given its own name. orange was used to refer to the fruit before the color. So oranges are, in fact, not orange colored. The color orange is the color of oranges.
Confirm JBK,
Do I also earn one of those new bug badges
Saw that too. Someone did a “no-no” and got temp bammed?
OK, this is a new twist. @acadien asks a ton of newbie questions which is almost understandable assuming he is a newbie, but when the opportunity arises he is a fountain of information on other peripheral topics.
I hope @acadien will consider starting a thread to educate us some more on Canadian coin terms and usage. I know this is the US Coin forum, but some of it might be of interest to US collectors.
Such as: how was the transition after one cent coins were discontinued? How do Canadians like using dollar and two dollar coins instead of paper money - do they ever complain about the weight of all those coins? Are there any other special French Canadian terms for money (do they also use Loonie, Twonie, etc.)? Do US coins show up often in circulation in Canada, and do people care?
Just curious.
Canada had the foresight to get rid of the cent (and the $1 bill), and by gosh they still are a functioning country!
Hello JBK, https://www.desjardins.com/ressources/pdf/pve70215-e.pdf
here a link that will hopefully help anyone in regard to the one penny '' Canadien Penny'' Loll, removed from circulation. Very interesting economic studies and cost evaluation that was publishes by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Have fun,
